<p>Yes and yes. Most of the recruited athletes at son's HS have known what college they will attend since junior year. Girl's soccer and girl's vollyball are two fairly heavily recruited sports from our area. The kids don't get money, and these are not low - achieving or low income kids- just dynamite players. UCLA, Berkeley, Duke - they don't wait for test scores or even senior grades to ask the kids to sign.</p>
<p>Male soccer, however, is not in such demand. I think all the colleges money for men's sports goes into football/basketball.</p>
